My best friend was Chauncey Bailey He was the Editor of the Oakland Post and he was murdered over a story. The story that he was murdered over eventually did take down a very powerful organization in Oakland. It is truly heartbreaking. I would love to see 48 Hours do a story about Chauncey he was truly a remarkable individual.

Him saying hes not stupid but keeping all the evidence for a week😂😂

What an evil narcissist. Telling staff they cannot talk to each other at work, murdering a journalist, denying the fact that his DNA was found under the victim's fingernails. Wow, lock him up and throw away the key, please!

Proof that a dumb narcissist is a lot more dangerous than a Mob boss 👍🏾

On his headstone, at the bottom center is engraved "-30-". It's an old journalism thing. Back when they transmitted stories by teletype, the story had to be transmitted in small chunks. When an article or story is complete, you typed -30- so that the ones typesetting the story would know that was the end.
A fine tribute to an old school journalist - the end of his story.

When Peter Van Sant gets frustrated talking to the perp on the jailhouse phone and says, "Come on, man. The evidence is overwhelming." And you can hear Mr. Van Sant hitting the table with his hand in frustration. I appreciate Mr. Van Sant asking the questions and pushing for answers to expose Mr. Telles.

He survived the mobsters but not the elected official. Ironic.

[taranote]

The officials who ignored these ladies' complaint about this guy are to blame as well.

Mr. German died as a Hero. Peter Van Sant is an amazing reporter.

[amiemartin]

When he was asked if he killed Jeff, his mouth said no but his head is nodding yes…

[angelinendunge]

[magdalena]

“I’m not dumb” said the dumbest narcissist ever.

[ggurks]

Imagine this creep is your boss. It really must have been hell working there

[BraziliAna]

It's only fair the best 48 Hours reporter covers the story of another honourable reporter. ❤

Jeff German was a true journalist. Thank y’all for presenting his story. 🦫

[gxdqfxg]

This man put his life on the line every day for the job he loved.

[Therezumee]

His behavior once elected speaks volumes. Reminder that psychopaths often are in suits. People keep forgetting that.

[wengd.]

He can deny all he want but evidence against him was overwhelming...

[carterzealand]

thank you for telling this story in a way that honors jeff’s incredible career!!

[mikulitsi]

Killing a reporter just because he was about to reveal even more about what kind of a person you are...
